Regime change in slow motion. The first bluebird to fly away is male, all the rest are females. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds #slowmotion #video

This video was slowed in iMovie by 25% and now you can see more details of bluebirds flying. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds #slomovideo

A flicker got harassed by starlings and lost his temper. And see how a photographer dresses when it's 9F/-13C with a wind chill of -10F/-23F. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds #flicker #starlings #selfie

Listen to this song when looking at the bluebird pictures. (Thank you, Paul Krugman.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYK9... #sydtaylor #paulkrugman #beautifulmusic #bluebirdmusic

It's snowing and cold. Tomorrow and the day after... the same. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

At last, some strong sun today. But it never got above 11F/-12C. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebird

The Cooper's hawk came by our house for a birdy meal, so for much of the day, the birds refused to come to the feeders. However, when they did come, they came in force. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

We finally had some sunshine today, but tonight we will have icy rain. The Cooper's hawk paid a visit, but I don't think he ate anyone, at least, not that I saw. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

It was so dark during the day today. And now I hear ice/rain tapping on the windows. Perhaps I will sleep in tomorrow. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

Another cold and gray day. The bluebirds still enjoy their mealworms, but the starlings still try to take over the feeder. That's where I come in. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

Fom an IN birder. "Horrific sight at Ewing Bottoms... like out of some sci-fi flick. Dead sandhill (cranes) littered the fields... probably a few 100...a large portion of the remaining live ones are sick. It was a very sad and awful thing to see." #birdflu #birds #birding

The bluebirds are still coming to my deck to be fed every morning. It was near freezing all day today, so there were plenty of them. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

When it was so cold a week ago, the bluebirds got along pretty well, coming together in a flock. Now that it's getting warmer and mating season is closer, that has changed. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography

Today's high temperature was 68F/20C (normal 32F/0C). The birds were happy; the sandhill cranes even decided that today was a good day to fly north (they will be sorry next week). #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography

The sun is shining and nothing is frozen. Amazing for February 1. Although the big flock has disbanded, there are still bluebirds at our feeders. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

It is well above freezing, so the bluebird flock has dispersed. But there are still the finches. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #finches

The Good: The temperature was 46F/8C today & much of the snow is gone. The Bad: Many bluebirds have left to find natural food elsewhere. Here is a last picture of the big flock. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography

Bluebirds eating mealworms on the railing. When you feed them like this, they don't fight (unlike when they joust for position on the hanging feeder). #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds
